The Great Summer Escape 6:

Basangbasa Coral Beach Resort

San Joaquin, Iloilo

By Pepin

The glamorous you won’t find here, but the true “serene run off” in this once a simple beach lot will definitely complete your day. Basangbasa Coral Beach Resort is an hour and a half away from the city of Iloilo and it can be reached via bus, passenger jeepney or rented van. This place spells “exceptional” in any way you like it.

Located at the end part of the Municipality of San Joaquin, Iloilo, this spot welcomes every visitor into the sublimity of beach living. The cottages are arranged in such a way that you will be able to feel the beach breeze anywhere you stand. It’s a “user-friendly” beach resort, as many  say, because of the well-planned and well-maintained amenities.

But this summer escape flaunts more its beach because of the treasures hidden underwater that are only revealed when the tide sets low. Corals of different hues and fishes of various sizes present themselves to you even as you stand in any of the big rocks at the middle of the waters, but the local government prohibited fishing in this area to preserve marine life. However, you can feed the fishes with bread crumbs, or better yet, go snorkeling.

Room rates:

Beach Front Cottages with toilet and bath

Aircon – Php 2000.00

Non-aircon – Php 1500.00

Hilltop Cottages with toilet and bath

Aircon – Php 1500.00

Non-aircon – Php 1000.00

Picnic Sheds – Php 200.00

Ilonggos Run For A Cause

By Pepin

Hundred of Ilonggos flocked at Freedom Grandstand to take part in the first ever Fun Run and Walk by the Gawad Kalinga (GK) Iloilo last July 11, 2010. The eight-kilometer trail concluded at Boardwalk, where more activities and surprises awaited the participants.

With a theme of “Step up and get movin’,” this activity aimed to promote social awareness and gave opportunities for Ilonggos to share little of what they have to help build homes for dispossessed families in the region. For many years now, it has always been the vision of Gawad Kalinga to stir Filipinos’ hearts to help each other, and this year’s fun run and walk was successful to amass Ilonggos’ support for its cause.

Present at the activity were the newly-elected local officials, who led the people’s confirmation of support for Gawad Kalinga. There are individual runners of various ages and sizes, and there are also groups of friends, families, and colleagues at work who ran together as one.

At the Boardwalk, participants enjoyed different kinds of refreshments provided by some sponsors of the event, and they stretched and bended more during the aero-taebo exercise. There is also a raffle draw and an awarding of prizes for those who finished the race first, both in individual and group categories.

At the end of the race, it did not matter who won, but the victory of the activity as a whole and the fulfilment of every participant to jumpstart the dream of GK in the region.

GK is looking forward to hold the same activity in 2011 after hundreds of people responded this year. t the same time, Ilonggos are expecting to become a part of another round of this activity, and they are hoping for greater success of the cause of this organization.

Beer Time is Meal Time

By Pepin

Nga-a ang mga tawo, labi na gd ang mga ilonggo hilig mag ma-uy kng matam-an ka inom? Anu ang ara sa beer nga makapahubog? Alcohol? Indi bala gna limpyo ina sa pilas. Kaina lng gn limpyuhan ko pilas xng ido ko xng alcohol. Pwede gle beer sa pilas pre? La ka nag siling daun, te may ara to gale beer sa rep, nagbakal pa ko sa mercury drug store xng Isopropyl alcohol with moisturizer. Ah linchowkan! Hinubog nga istoryahanay ni.

Sadya gd mag inum-inum, labi na gd kng wla ka may kinan-an, dasig ka ma tipsy…asus tipsy… hubog naton…. Ari: Sadtong una nga tiyempo, na hubog ako sa Juan’s Place…ambot kung may nakadumdum pa xng lugar nga ni? Daw anum na ka tuig ang nagligad. Nagsuka ako kag gn ligid-ligidan ko pa gd ang suka xng klasmyt ko nga kribal ko sang 1st year hayskul. Ahay nga tiyoy, nag dinamak. Wara ka maan si iloy nga ga ligid sa suka si toto sa ‘lilo. Pero namit man gle mag batang-batang sa mapilit kag mainit nga suka, labi na gd ang baho daw redhorse man.

Pero mu lang ni nabal-an ko, wala ko ya ga pati nga kung hubog ka, ga palangdulum ang paminsaran mu. Ngaa man? Samtang ga batang ako sa suka sadto, may tuyo tani nga magkuha sang wallet ko. Gin kaptan ko iya kamot kag gin pamangkot, “Pila gd bala kinanlan mu?” hambal ya: “syen pre.” Gin buksan ko akon wallet kag gin isip ang mga sinsilyo asta makadab-ot syen, kag sang matapos ko na isip, gin butang ko balik wallet ko sa bulsa ko, gin kabidan sang chain, kag nagbalik himlay sa suka kag nag moan moan… ahay mauy dun si tiyoy.

Kahuruya,?… labot ko?... Te inom ta pre? Tambay-tambay lng. Didto sa Langford’s ukon sa Ryan’s. Pero mayo gd ya kung sa balay lng. wala damu gasto, kag may banyo nga sukahan. Mu lang na tani akon… te mu man na imu?
